FISCAL IMPACT
Under redevelopment dissolution law, assets are to be sold and the proceeds from the sale of property are to be distributed to local agencies as property taxes. Consequently, the City will receive a proportionate share of the proceeds received by the Successor Agency from the sale of the subject property. These funds will offset the City’s cost of the purchase price.
